Good afternoon folks. Hope you've had a nice week and are enjoying the weekend. Over here it's the end of the 3rd week of work on the latest bullshittery and here's an update on progress.

The video is cut end to end now, meaning that all of the scenes have been selected and are in the correct order. Previously I had about 7 minutes roughly plotted out. Now it's all set and is looking good. And I've reached about 5 minutes and 40 seconds of the keyframing in After Effects.

Alas if I'm being honest, I'm not quite as far ahead as I'd hoped. I would prefer to be around the 7th or 8th minute. But I've had some administrative distractions over the last week that have piled on the stress and often need immediate email responses to solve. Keyframing can be a little bit like coding, in that if you have to stop and start repeatedly you can lose track of what you're doing. I'm hoping to get it solved within a couple of weeks.

Content wise though, things are going fine. The keyframed bits are a little out of order now that I've reshuffled there scenes, so the timeline looks like this:

Next I need to fill in the gaps and move onto the quality assurance.

There's SO many highlights available for Holdfast though. Holy moley! Even being selective with them, it's a treasure trove of silliness. And I've only managed to scrub a small fraction of the total. If people like this episode then there's plenty more to follow.

The editing continues. Have a lovely weekend everybody.

Hey Womble - take your time and look after yourself. COVID-19 means the work-life balance is blurring a lot more than usual, so don't forget to take some breaks and don't put unrealistic pressure on yourself. It'll get done when it's done. Incidentally - I'm deeply enjoying the Space Engineers streams. Hoping that the server stays up and people just keep popping in every now and then.

Hey Womble! No worries, I'm fine with waiting longer. You don't need to push yourself so much, take your time. In the end you should be happy with what you show your audience, so take as long as you need. I mean there's the SE stream that everyone's enjoying so you know, they have that content to watch

I hope you don't feel like you owe us when doing these videos. Just take as long as you need. In the meantime, I'm just waiting to see how you are going to save your Thicc spaceship

Just wanted to make the point that it's not spelled reinactments but re-enactments but looking forward to the video as always!

Definitely looking forward to more Holdfast, the streams always have plenty of hilarious moments.

Frequent interruptions are bad for the workflow in any field, not just editing or coding. And time-sensitive administrative stuff is something that definitely should have priority. And it's not your fault that it's coming up during the editing. Don't beat yourself up about it :) Hope you can settle it soon and smoothly. Take all the time you need for the edit. No stressing yourself and no working on the weekends! Take care of yourself <3

Are you okay Womble? Haven't seen or heard from you in days, apart from 7 days of something in-chat yesterday.
